DigiTip 2 – Check your Welsh text using the Cysill app 📝

Cysill is part of a language software package called Cysgliad that you can download on your PC, and Cysill will be able to identify and correct Welsh-language errors in your text. You can use the online version of Cysill, but you can check your text much easier if you download the app (how do I do that?).

Once you’ve downloaded the Cysill app, take a look at the video below or follow these instructions: 

  • Open the Cysill app and your Word document (or wherever your Welsh-language text is located) 
  • Highlight the text you want Cysill to check 
  • Type Ctrl+Alt+W on your keyboard (this will copy and paste your text directly into Cysill) 
  • Check all the errors that the app suggests need changing 
  • Click Cywiro (Correct) if you’re happy with a correction that the app suggests
  • Once you’ve worked through all the suggestions, the app will automatically copy and paste the corrected text back into your Word document

TipDigi 2 – Gwiriwch eich testun Cymraeg drwy ddefnyddio ap Cysill 📝

Mae Cysill yn rhan o becyn meddalwedd iaith y gallwch ei lawrlwytho i’ch cyfrifiadur o’r enw Cysgliad, a bydd Cysill yn medru adnabod a chywiro gwallau Cymraeg yn eich testun. Gallwch ddefnyddio’r fersiwn ar-lein o Cysill, ond gallwch wirio’ch testun yn llawer haws drwy lawrlwytho’r ap (sut ydw i’n gwneud hynny?).

Ar ôl i chi lawrlwytho ap Cysill, edrychwch ar y fideo isod neu dilynwch y cyfarwyddiadau hyn:

  • Agorwch ap Cysill a’ch dogfen Word (neu ble bynnag mae eich testun Cymraeg)
  • Amlygwch y testun rydych chi am i Cysill ei wirio
  • Teipiwch Ctrl + Alt+ W ar eich bysellfwrdd (bydd hyn yn copïo a gludo eich testun yn uniongyrchol i mewn i Cysill)
  • Gwiriwch yr holl wallau y mae’r ap yn awgrymu bod angen newid
  • Cliciwch Cywiro os ydych chi’n hapus â chywiriad y mae’r ap yn ei awgrymu
  • Unwaith y byddwch wedi gweithio trwy’r holl awgrymiadau, bydd yr ap yn copïo a gludo’r testun wedi’i gywiro yn awtomatig yn ôl i’ch dogfen Word
